SIGMOID VOLVULUS A RARE CASE REPORT IN CHILDREN
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Sigmoid volvulus is an uncommon problem in children and adolescents, and is rarely considered as a diagnosis in this group because it is a classic disease of the elderly. Sigmoid volvulus is rarely reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of acute sigmoid volvulus in an 8 year old boy in whom the diagnosis was strongly suspected on the basis of the plain film roentgenograms, and summarize the definition, manifestations, pathogenesis, complications and treatment. Early diagnosis is necessary due to the compromised prognosis of this disease and the necessity of rapid prompt therapeutic management.
